Will magnetic clip button cases damage my Ipod Touch?

I just bought a BargainCell flip leather case, but I noticed that it has a magnetic clip for the buttons. I know that magnetics are disasterous for electronic devices, so is that magnet (which is relatively strong for its size) gonna mess up my Ipod Touch? If so, why the heck would they make cases with magnets anyway? Thanks

My wife and I owned a flip leather case with a magnet clip for our iPod Touches. The first time I used the case was on a short trip, I tried to listen to some music with the case closed. That had the effect that the iPod "locked up" after just a few minutes. I had to reboot the iPod several times during the trip, until I was so annoyed by that that I switched it off. After my arrival I loaded up the iPod with the case closed. Apparently that damaged my iPod, because I was unable to boot it up again. I returned to the Apple store, where it was exchanged for free (great service!).

My wife's IPod was a few months older than mine and she never experienced any problems with it, until she started to use the same case. Her experiences were the same as mine (lockup and boot-up problems). The moment she stopped using the case, the problems were gone.

Somehow I don't believe that this is a coincidence, because there are many people who experienced identical problems with leather cases that have a magnetic clip. My advise is therefore not to use them.

I have a problem with my Ipod touch I have a magnitic case and left it in there for a sec.. till it fell a sleep and it turned off on me and it will not turn back on me tried many things idk what to do is there any tips to get it back on and working?

What happens when you bring another magnet into the equation though. Depending on the polarity, it can do things, or the magneticity of the magnet would increase, as there would be more magnet there to magnetise the HDD...
